[SoC] Re: SAGA Interface for QGIS - Weekly report

[Camilo Polymeris]

This week the Framework's design saw many changes. Julien has started
to experiment with interfacing it to the Orfeo Toolbox, and from the
ensuing discussion the conclusions of creating a separate plugin for
the framwork's gui, sort of a "module manager", now called
processingplugin and removing some unnecessary classes were drawn.
These things were implemented.
Also, a model-view interface will be used for the module list.

Some bugs were also fixed. A few new parameter types introduced.
(String, Boolean, Choice). The UI has imporved a bit.

Apropos, no screenshot this week, but, the good news is you can see
for yourself how it is coming along, since the **very experimental**
plugins are now available through the faunalia.it repo[1]. Note that
you have to install "processingplugin" for the SAGA plugin to work.
Many thanks to Giuseppe & Paolo for their help.

Any comments welcome!

Next week I hope to catch up with validators, and move the module list
to model-view.

As always, past reports are available at the project's wiki.[2]

Regards,

Camilo
